South of the Federation of Seven Planets, Red Candle City.
From the name, it was obvious that this was a city belonging to the Red Glory Race.
This city was a border city. Further south, separated by a few mountain peaks, it belonged to another country.
It was a medium-sized country, one of the subordinate forces of the Federation of Seven Planets.
Red Candle City was naturally not an important city.
However, the Federation of Seven Planets was essentially an alliance of the Seven Glory Races. The Seven Glory Races were further divided into families and branches.
Every city had its own family force, as well as its own regular army.
The city walls of Red Candle City were twenty meters tall. Patrolling soldiers could be seen on the walls. These soldiers wore old and tattered armor. Only their weapons were rune weapons. Most of them were mixed-blood beastmen, demi-humans, goblins, stonemen, and other common races. A few months ago, he had even seen some humans.
The members of the Red Glory Race could not be seen.
The Seven Glory Races were all nobles in the Federation. Even in the army guarding the city, they were at least commanders.
The patrolling soldiers were not guarding against enemy attacks, but the occasional exotic beasts that wandered around Red Candle City. They did not need to pay much attention to them.
Red Carlo was leisurely nestled in his office. The crystal processor in front of him was making indescribable noises.
Suddenly.
A series of hurried noises came from outside. Red Carlo was displeased. Something had happened at this critical moment.
"Commander, something has happened. The humans are attacking … Ugh …"
A deafening explosion sounded out as a flying rock smashed into the Goat Tribesman's body like a cannonball. His entire chest caved in, and the Goat Tribesman crashed into a wall, causing it to crack. His eyes were wide open as blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth. His limbs twitched, and it seemed like he was going to die.
Red Carlo suddenly came to his senses.
As a commander, his cultivation was not low. He was already in the peak of the Awakening Rank.
He pushed aside the flying stones and looked around with a sharp gaze.
Outside the city.
Thousands of humans surged forward like a tidal wave. Among them, the high-ranking Awakened ones used some of the dents on the wall caused by the alien beasts to leap up the wall.
There were many Body Shaping Stage and a few Condensing Origin Stage captains among the patrolling soldiers, but they were no match for the well-equipped humans.
Red Carlo quickly put on his equipment.
It looked like an iron bucket with its head and tail removed. A few tentacles extended out of the holes, holding a rune weapon with flowing light.
"It's a member of the Red Radiance Race! An Elite monster! "
"Mine, mine, don't fight for it!"
"Kill monsters, accumulate merit points, exchange for equipment, aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Red Carlo saw a dozen or so red-eyed humans rushing at him, shouting words that he did not understand. He attacked in anger, and scorching fireballs condensed around his body.
Boom!
Before the fireball could even shoot out, Red Carlo's vision was filled with sword and saber lights. The next moment, his consciousness quickly dissipated.
At the last moment, he could only hear the men shouting,
"Whose fault is it? Whose fault is it? Sigh, it's actually not me who got the last hit! "
…
All the disciples of the Big Dao Sect wore the latest generation of tactical watches developed by the Scientific Research Department.
It could record battle merits at any time, and it could also be used for short-distance communication within the battlefield.
Of course,
The appearance of the wristwatch was Xianxia style. It looked like a ring-type treasure, and the reality was similar. The tactical wristwatch could store three to five spells, and it could change the outcome of a battle at a critical moment.
The rules of this large-scale time-limited mission stated that if a team was formed, the battle merits would be divided equally, or the team could discuss the distribution among themselves. However, if multiple teams attacked the same target, the tactical wristwatch's built-in system had a set of mature and complicated evaluation rules.
The disciples of the Big Dao Sect did not understand. They only knew one thing: the person who got the last hit would get more battle merits.
To them, most of the enemies did not count. Only enemies at the High Awakened level or above could barely be counted.
Roughly, one enemy counted as "1 point."
Pitifully little.
Only those at the Great Awakened level were considered "normal monsters." And the identity of the Red Glory Clan gave them battle merits. However, there was not enough meat to go around. The participating disciples felt that the mission was too difficult.
…
"What's the situation with the disciples of the Big Dao Sect?"
Outside Red Candle City, Lin Chu, who was commanding the army, rubbed his temples.
The Lin tribal clan was a human tribe located in the northern part of the Azure Mountain Range.
Year round, they fought against the mutated beasts in the mountain range. In the northern plains, there were some alien tribes that came into the mountains to pick herbs. The Lin tribal clan had a strong culture and a large population of nearly a million people. If not for the lack of a stable environment and resources in the Azure Mountain Range, the Lin tribal clan could easily develop into a medium-sized country.
Lin Chu was a direct descendant of the Lin tribal clan. He had a high status, but in front of the disciples of the Big Dao Sect, even if they were outer disciples, he did not dare to put on airs. Because of this, he was more worried that something would happen to the disciples of the Big Dao Sect. Even in large-scale battles, death was a common occurrence.
"They have already killed their way into the city. They are several kilometers ahead of us. Regiment Commander, do we need to …"
Lin Chu did not speak.
A rough man behind him could not help but say, "I think those disciples of the Big Dao Sect are here to fight for battle merits. I really don't know why they are in our army. It can't be to monitor us! "
"Shut up!"
Lin Chu said, "With the structure of the Big Dao Sect, they will not fight for merits or monitor us. The land distribution is a gift from the Big Dao Sect to us human tribes. Including the disciples of the Big Dao Sect, most of them are humans. Don't forget, our Li tribe has three geniuses who have become inner or outer disciples of the Big Dao Sect.
In my opinion, the Big Dao Sect wants to use the war to let those young people experience the atmosphere of war. In layman's terms, it is training … I can't say for the other disciples, but those inner and outer disciples are too arrogant. They have rushed too deep. After all, they are only at the Awakened realm. "
Lin Chu thought about it, "Brother Lin Yuan, I can only trouble you to go to the front line and make a move when necessary."
…
Inside Red Candle City, smoke billowed.
There were fifteen disciples of the Big Dao Sect following the Lin Army's fifth army. One team of five, two teams of three, and two teams of two, for a total of five teams.
Once the city walls were broken, they rushed into the city to hunt the high value targets.
For example, in the mansions of the nobles and some of the important properties of the Red Light Race, it was easy to meet the members of the Red Light Race.
At this time, the civilians in the city had already hidden. Occasionally, some soldiers with weapons in hand could be seen running on the streets.
The sect disciples of the five teams naturally wouldn't attack the civilians. Even if they met some alien soldiers by chance, unless they were really blocking the way, they would kill them with a single slash. As for the rest of the soldiers, they would just release their aura and they would be scared witless and flee.
— — After all, the ordinary soldiers did not have a single battle record.
"It's been ten minutes. Why can we count the number of high-level awakened enemies on two hands?"
"Where are the members of the Red Light Race? Where are the experts guarding the city? So difficult, this large-scale mission is really difficult! "
A relatively calm sect disciple said.
"Are we going too deep? With the scale of Red Candle City, there are at least Void Treading experts guarding it. There are definitely many high-level awakened ones. Even if the response time is slow, the experts should have organized by now. We haven't met many along the way. It is very likely that they have already set up an ambush. "
"Indeed." Another person slowed down and said, "In the next moment, there might be 100, 200, or even 300 high-level awakened ones in front of us."
"But …" He scratched his head, "Why do I feel like 300 high-level awakened ones is nothing?"
"You're too arrogant."
"When I challenged the Battle of Pengcheng in the Tower of Trials, there were many enemies and all kinds of horrifying monsters. There were far more than 300 high-level awakened ones."
"And you defeated the Battle of Pengcheng?"
"No, I died in the end."
"That's right. We can't resurrect in the Tower of Trials. We should be more careful." The cautious sect disciple said again, "Also, those horrifying monsters in the battle, oh, they should be called demonic beasts. They have no intelligence. But the Red Light Race is different. They are highly intelligent beings and the main members of the Seven Luminaries Federation. We can't underestimate them. Maybe they have trump cards that we don't know about."
"You're right. Elder Shay once said that if you don't have enough strength, don't act recklessly. Especially when you're in a favorable situation. Although I don't quite understand it, but …"
They were a team of five people. In terms of individual combat power, they might only be middle-level in the Big Dao Sect, but they were well-equipped.
Immediately.
They flipped over and entered a deserted courtyard that no one lived in, concealing their presence.
A chubby girl in the team stretched the antenna on her head, closed her eyes, and moved her hands in a specific trajectory with the source power.
A moment later.
The girl opened her eyes, "I found the enemy!"
"How many?"
"We're surrounded. There might be 100, 200, or even 300 of them."
"… …"
After a moment of silence, the calm young man in the team said, "Prepare to meet the enemy."
He looked at the chubby girl again, and the girl reacted, "Ah, oh, the enemy in the southeast is weaker."
The calm young man thought for a moment, "Pretend to fight to the death and get ready to break through the southeast."
Boom!
The walls of the deserted courtyard shattered. In the smoke and dust, a group of figures surrounded them from all directions.
They saw ten members of the Red Glory Clan leading them. Their auras were above the Eleventh Awakening Stage.
They were surrounded by bear-people, lizardmen, giant goblins, and other high-level awakened ones.
There were even more mid-level awakened ones, holding bows and crossbows, occupying some of the high ground around them.
Although they were composed of members of various races with different appearances, they looked like a miscellaneous army. But the fierce momentum they exuded was overwhelming.
The equipment they wore was no longer as simple as the patrol's.
The bows and crossbows were rune equipment, and the arrows were shining with armor-piercing runes. The high-level awakened bear-people, lizardmen, and others were also wearing full sets of rune equipment, which was a little better than ordinary equipment.
"Only five humans?"
The leading member of the Red Glory Clan was very disappointed. He thought he could catch some big fish, but he didn't expect it to be just a few ordinary humans, not even at the peak of the Awakening Stage.
He didn't know why the humans suddenly attacked Candle City, and where did they get the courage to do so. Ordinary cities didn't know about the changes in the upper echelons in a short time.
But …
He didn't bother to ask. He waved his tentacles, "Kill them all."
In the five-man squad, the calm young man's eyes swept around calmly.
"They don't put us in their eyes. There are only thirty or forty high-level awakened ones nearby. Even if we count those crossbowmen, we still have a chance … to kill the leading members of the Red Glory Clan first."
The mid-level awakened crossbowman pulled the trigger, and a barrage of armor-piercing rune arrows enveloped them.
Ordinary rune armor couldn't stop the armor-piercing arrows. Even a shield condensed from source energy would be pierced by the arrows. It was a powerful weapon used to kill high-level awakened ones.
"Scatter!"
The calm young man slammed the ground, and his body flew out like an arrow leaving the bow. Dozens of armor-piercing arrows flew towards him. The young man drew his sword.
Bang!
The tip of the sword hit several arrows in a row. Although it wasn't strong, the armor-piercing arrows flew away in the next moment.
Just like that, the calm young man jumped out of the rain of arrows by a hair's breadth.
"Qi Condensation Slash!"
He held the sword with both hands and slashed with the long-range combat skill he learned in the sect.
A white crescent-shaped sword light whizzed out. The sword light condensed and didn't disperse. As the sword light slashed through, the bodies of more than ten archers who occupied a high ground were easily cut apart like tofu. When the sword light was about to fly out of the group of archers, the calm young man pressed his sword down again.
boom！！
The white sword light exploded, and dozens of crossbowmen nearby were affected. Another dozen crossbowmen died on the spot.
The calm young man didn't look at them again. He slid sideways to the nearest Red Glory Clan member.
A few high-level awakened Bearmen and Lizardmen attacked.
"They are all flaws."
The calm young man changed his sword stance and slashed across the chest of a high-level awakened bearman in just two moves. The thick rune plate armor failed to block the attack at all, and was easily cut open. Then, the long sword smoothly cut open a half-meter-long, palm-deep wound on the bearman's chest.
Blood gushed out of the wound.
The calm young man's expression didn't change. His body flashed like a phantom.
After a short while.
A few high-level awakened aliens fell around him. Some were dead, some were dying. His sword also stabbed into the body of the Red Glory Clan member, whose halos kept flashing.
He slashed and slashed.
The halos of the Red Glory Clan member dimmed completely. He wriggled on the ground for a while and then died.
The calm young man fell silent.
He looked in the other direction and saw that his teammates were doing the same thing as him, killing the high-level awakened aliens one after another.
The chubby girl who was a perceptive girl had smashed the heads of two high-level kobolds with her staff.
It was as easy as killing a chicken.
The calm young man felt that it shouldn't be.
Weren't they the ones being surrounded?
Wasn't the Red Glory Clan a legendary big clan?
Weren't they supposed to fight a bloody battle and get injured to break out of the encirclement?
He was prepared to use the Teleport Scroll if they couldn't break out of the encirclement.
But now …
He slashed his sword.
Wasn't his opponent a little too weak? But I'm not arrogant!
Looking at his teammates who were killing merrily, the calm young man realized something.
Who cares? Just kill! It's all merit points!
